38 was my best :D I challenged myself to have at least 30. Very simple idea with very nice execution.
edit: there is a bug where if you go to a different web tab and back in all the music notes play at once! so loud owie!!!
was a fun game to hunt for a high score, i wish the high score was saved somewhere in case i accidentally reset before i got a screenshot!!
i think the water is balanced really well, and the game is perfectly executed for what it is. im glad the water waits for you on 0.
would have liked a volume slider maybe?
i do agree with some comments saying that the spikes should be more visible, the spikes are pretty low-contrast all things considered
i could probbably get higher if i tried a lot more times, but it seemed like the water was going to kill me around the 200-300 point regardless
Difficulty spike aside, it felt good when my brain turned off and I got in the flow state!
I really enjoy it! The difficulty is fine for me, since I like challenging games. Maybe a difficulty selector would resolve it? Dunno lol. With some polish it could be even better!
A difficult but very fun game, I feel my brain getting scrambled as I try to press the right key, good job
I like me some high difficulty games! With a bit more polish this can be a good time sink. My biggest issue was the micro stutters I dunno if its my browser or something but that was really affecting the gameplay considering how fast the water level rises. Other then that its a good prototype. Well done! 
cool mind game syncing left and right brain XD
My suggestion is to make the spikes more noticeable for quick moving screens.
the game itself reminds me of mario tennis power tour minigame, duck jump I think is the name of the mini game?
Maybe if it's more noticeable the game will be much easier to playpretty looking and with music, there is an addictive core, but it is so haaaaaaaaard. I have trouble climbing super fast and not running inot spike, it is quite counter intuitive?
Simple, but fun and functional arcade-style game! Keep it up
